What are three things that you would describe yourself as? This is one question that the interviewer would ask the troubled kids from the school. This drama is about a guy called Murphy (Cillian Murphy), a troubled but passionate headteacher who runs a residential reform school for kids who’ve lost their way. He’s got some…
Imagine you’re single and searching for your soulmate and there’s a test that promises to match you with that person. Simple, right? No more faff, no endless dating apps, no uncertainty. Just the certainty of destiny, wrapped up in science. We start with university friends Laura (Imogen Poots) and Simon (Brett Goldstein). He takes her…
When I first watched the trailer for this film I was hooked, and I didn’t know the story was inspired by the Bible story of Ruth. That caught my attention because I was curious how such an ancient story would be translated into a modern setting. This version reimagines Ruth as a hip hop artist…
The Harry Potter films have been a magical part of my life for years. Each movie brings something different, especially in the later ones when the story grows darker and more complex. From brave heroes to quirky oddballs, each character adds their own kind of magic. This is my personal list and I’d love to know who…
Football is often seen as a game of wealth, fame, and security for its stars, but behind the glamour lies a darker reality. In the BBC documentary Football’s Financial Shame: The Story of the V11, former Premier League presenter Richard Lenton stepped into his first executive producer role to uncover one of the sport’s most shocking…

But the final stretch of 2025 might just change that, with some truly exciting movies on the horizon. From romance and musicals to horror and sci-fi,…
I normally don’t like football documentaries, but this one pulled me in. Maybe it’s because the story isn’t about goals, trophies, or tactics it’s about the human cost of financial ruin. The focus on the players themselves, their vulnerability, and how they’ve coped since makes it more than a sports documentary. It feels like a…
You know those shitty slapstick movies that still manage to put a smile on your face? The Wrong Paris is exactly that kind of movie. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, and honestly, neither should you when you watch it. Yes, it’s low budget. Yes, it feels like a mash-up of The Bachelor and a Hallmark Christmas special without…
“You cannot reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth.” Winston Churchill delivered this line straight to Halifax’s face in the War Rooms, and somehow Halifax still didn’t get the point. That’s the kind of sharp, cutting drama Darkest Hour thrives on. For me, this is easily one of the best war films of…
